India's GDP grows at 7.2%: Q3

India’s GDP grew 7.2% in the third quarter, surpassing expectations and wresting back the mantle of fastest-growing economy from China on the back of a rebound in industrial activity, especially manufacturing and construction, and an expansion in agriculture. China grew 6.8% in the quarter — and is expected to grow at that pace for the full year.

Experts also pointed to the growth in gross fixed capital formation as a sign that investment, which has been a laggard, may be resurgent, although the slowing of private consumption was a concern. The numbers indicated that the economy had shaken off the effects of demonetisation and come to grips with the goods and services tax.

Growth started to pick up in the July-September quarter within the April-June period due to destocking in the run-up to the GST rollout and the lingering impact of demonetisation. The Economic Survey had projected that a series of major reforms undertaken over the past year will allow real GDP growth to rise to 7.5% in FY19, thereby reinstating India as the world’s fastest-growing major economy.

Some experts said India could exceed the International Monetary Fund’s 6.7% GDP growth estimate for the current year if the recovery trajectory improves even further, possibly allowing it to retain the fastest-growing economy title.

Twenty22

Twenty22 stands for the year 2022 when India will be 75 years old.The story of a young and energetic nation on the move,having her foundation in an ancient civilisation.From a glorious past to a glorious future.Our flag's Orange colour symbolizes courage and sacrifice, White stands for peace and truth, Green is for faith and chivalry and Blue represents the color of the sky and the ocean. The central motif is a Chakra, or Buddhist spinning wheel. The 24 spokes of the wheel correspond with the 24 hours of the day, implying that there is life in movement and death in stagnation.

A Scrapbook chronicling the magic of the present moment as the Winds of Change sweeps across INDIA,BHARAT,HINDUSTAN-The World's Largest Democracy.The Making of India which hopefully will have heartwarming stories of growth and development... on the lines of Chicken Soup for the Soul..ooops..err Rasam for the Hindustani Aatma. Jai Hind.
